Beach Lake PA November 14, 2003–SEMA 2003 โ” Final Thoughts
Well, SEMA 2003 is over and my โdogsโ are tired. Once again the show has grown to the point of almost being surreal. From this reporters point of view, maybe too big. I also have to say that even though the show was HUGE, it has also grown proportionately in terms of quality and spectacle.
There where several things I liked and disliked at SEMA 2003. Tops on that list was the DUB party held in the south hall of the SEMA convention on Wednesday night. I give DUB a lot of credit as the party was well organized and secure. Several celebrities showed up and partied with the crowd (I can not reveal who they were because I agreed not to) but safe to say, the โcrowd went wildโ. Style and lifestyle networks like E! Entertainment also had people there as well. If you ever get that special invite to go to a DUB party, GO!
We, classic motorcycle , all remember the Pepsi Vanilla commercial with the โradโ kick’n truck blowing the doors off the competitor, well, at least I do. That truck with the help of some very lovely ladies from Pepsi was jumping and rocking outside the south hall. If you ever get a chance to see this truck, do so. It is truly amazing to see this behemoth, doing its thing.
The show cars at the convention this year are too numerous to list. There where several hundred cars and trucks of all different shapes and sizes. One of the stand out cars was a โsnake skinโ painted Supra, with sound and TV systems that would have made the ABC remote satellite vehicle ashamed to show its face. I was actually looking for a small nuclear reactor that powered the system. When it comes to seeing the world’s finest automotive creations, SEMA is the place to be.
The racecars that were displayed at the show where as diverse as can be, representing almost all of the racing venues from off-road to Formula One, 300-mph dragsters to solar powered concept racers. The two standouts that struck this reporter were the Ultimate GTR and the Mazda Pro open wheel car. I have included articles and interviews with both of these companies and I invite you to read them.
